Expanding spiritual capacity requires subordinating our own needs to something beyond our self-interest. Because we often perceive our own needs as urgent, shifting attention away from them can prompt very primitive survival fears. If I truly focus my attention on others, we worry, who is going to look out for me? It is a mark of courage to set aside self-interest in order to be of service to others or to a cause. The irony is that self-absorption ultimately drains energy and impedes performance. The more preoccupied we are with our own fears and oncerns, the less energy we have available to take positive action.

意志精力需的拓展需要有超越个人利益的目标，甚至个人需求需要为之让路。人们往往认为自己的需求是紧急的，一旦转移注意力，便会引发原始的生存恐惧。如果我把注意力用到别人身上，我们会担心谁来关心我们？放下自己的利益而去服务他人或者事业，是勇敢的表现。具有讽刺意味的是自私自利是消耗精力和阻碍表现的。我们越是被自己的恐惧和担心所掌控，我们就越没有精力来采取积极的行动。

Subordinating our self-interest to something beyond ourselves may feel threatening at first, but as Gary discovered, it can also be immensely rewarding—a means by which to experience a deeper sense of meaning and greater self-worth. The commitment to live according to our deepest values not only creates a more stable center in our lives but also helps us to better navigate the challenges we face along the way.

将个人利益置后起初会让人恐惧，但Gary却发现，这样做回报也丰厚，包括提升个人意义和价值。根据自己底层的价值观生活不仅可以带来生活的重心，也可以帮助我们更好应对所面临的各种挑战。

我的思考My Thinking

人都是需要追求安全感的，但想要获得更多成长，必须走出舒适圈，可以说为了收获长期的收益必须要经历短期的不适，但大部分是没有勇气面对短期不适的。
People needs sense of security, but we have to move out of the comfort zone and bear short term discomfort for the long term benefits, however most people don't have the courage to face the discomfort.

1.很多人工作后就不学习了，是因为不想忍受学习可能带来的短期痛苦！
2.体能精力的提升需要忍受不吃垃圾食品所带来的短期痛苦，需要忍受每天健身带来的酸痛！
3.意志精力的提升却要把自己的个人利于让位于超越自身自已的事情，这需要忍受不安全感带来的痛苦！
4.投资也是一样，不要大手大脚花钱，这会给很多人带来短期的不适，还要忍受漫长的等待，让资产增值，心里好难受啊！
5.创业也是一样，创业初期一个人做几个人的活，短期是不适的！
1.Many people stop learning after working because they can't tolerate the discomfort from learning!
2.Physical energy builds up by quitting the junk foods and suffering the aching after gym!
3.Inspritual energy expanding calls for subordinating one's own needs to something beyond our self-interest! which results in suffering of insecurity!
4.Investment requires saving and controlling spending, which results in short-term discomfort and long waiting before gaining the returns and this is irritating.
5.When starting up a business, one has to perform multi-roles and overtime a lot, which is not so pleasant.

有远见和目标感的人在意志精力是非常充沛的，这足以支持我们忍受乃至享受短期的不适，从而收获长期的收益。为了成长，必须突破自己的舒适区，这犹如加勒比海盗4中，杰克只有勇于翻船后才能找到不老泉的入口！
People with vision and purpose are energizing spiritually which support us to tolerate short term discomfort for the long-term returns. We must move out comfort zone for growth, just as in Pirates of the Caribbean 4, Captain Jack found the Fountain of Youth after capsizing the ship.
